For the best results, we recommend frothing milk in a separate pitcher and pouring the
milk into your coffee. The milk and pitcher should be cold. Do not use a pitcher which
has just been washed in warm water. Use skim or 2% milk.
We also recommend a stainless steel frothing pitcher and a specialty beverage thermometer,
if you own one, for preparing the best froth and steamed milk.
1.
The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso.Therefore, fill the water reservoir
with cold water. Never use warm or hot water to fill the water reservoir.
2.
Follow steps in “Brewing Espresso”.
3.
Fill a small stainless steel pitcher 1/3 to 1/2 way with cold milk. We recommend using a
MR. COFFEE
®
frothing pitcher (EFP1) or any other pitcher that holds about 10 - 12 ounces
and is around 5 inches tall. The pitcher should be cold. Do not use a pitcher that has just
been washed with warm water.
4.
Make sure the Espresso Machine is turned on and that there is water in the water reservoir.
The brew ready indicator light will go off when the machine is ready to steam milk.
5. Press the Steam Start/Stop Button. The steam ready light will come on when
the unit is ready to froth milk. The brew ready light will stay on.
6. Place the steaming tube in the pitcher with milk. Hold the pitcher so that the
steaming tube is submerged in milk and close to the bottom of the pitcher.
7. Turn the Steam/Froth Control Knob counterclockwise to begin steaming.
The steam ready light will go off while you are steaming milk. This is normal
and you may continue steaming until you have completely steamed your milk.
U
SE CAUTION
:
Steam emitted from the frothing arm is very HOT. As the milk
heats up,
the frothing pitcher will become very HOT!
8.
The specially designed frothing attachment requires very little effort to produce thick
and
frothy steamed milk. Steam the milk until the desired consistency is achieved
or until the frothed milk reaches the top of the pitcher. Slightly moving the pitcher
up and down while steaming (and keeping the frothing tube immersed in milk)
will help produce extra froth. When you are finished steaming, turn the Steam Control
Knob clockwise until it stops. Do not overtighten. Press the steam start / stop button
to complete the frothing process.
9. When the Steam Control Knob is closed, you will notice the machine releases
some steam. This is the machine releasing the pressure it has generated during
the steaming process and is normal.
I
MPORTANT
Clean the steam nozzle and frothing attachment immediately after each use. Fill a
pitcher halfway with water and run the steaming feature again for about 20 seconds.
This will clean out the inside of the steaming tube. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the
exterior of the steaming tube and frother attachment. You may want to rinse the frother
attachment with warm, soapy water. If the end of the steam tube becomes blocked with
dry milk, use a sewing needle or safety pin to clean out the small hole.
A
TTENTION
After using the steaming feature of your machine, the heating system is at its highest
temperature. If you wish to prepare more espresso immediately after steaming milk,
the heating system should be cooled down to keep from “burning” your espresso.
When the steam ready indicator light goes off, your machine is now ready to brew
espresso at the perfect temperature.

LEANING
When you are finished brewing espresso and steaming milk, begin cleaning by turning
the unit off and unplugging the power cord.
The filter handle and filters should be cleaned each time you brew espresso. To clean,
remove filter handle by turning the handle approximately 45 degrees left of center.
The filter handle will release down from its locked position. Use caution as the filter or pod
adapter may still contain hot water floating on top of the coffee grounds or coffee pod.
Knock the used espresso grounds or pod out while holding the filter or pod adapter in
place by holding the thumb guard lock firmly against the filter cup or pod adapter. Use
caution as the filter cup or pod adapter and the filter holder will be very hot. Rinse the filter
cup or pod adapter and the filter holder out thoroughly with water. It is not recommended to
put the filter, pod adapter or filter holder in the dishwasher. If you are not going to use the
machine again for some time, do not reinsert the filter holder on the brew head; this will
lengthen the service life of the filter seal.
Remove the Water Reservoir and empty out any remaining water. Do not wash the
Water Reservoir in the dishwasher.
Remove the Drip Tray and Overflow Grid from the machine and rinse with warm,
soapy water. Do not wash these parts in the dishwasher.
